Imabari Waffle Towels

indigo
Free U.S. Shipping & Easy Returns on Bedding and Bath

Lightweight, incredibly soft, and quick to dry, say hello to your new can’t-live-without staples. Loomed with an oversized waffle construction, these waffle towels are more breathable and absorbent than your run-of-the-mill versions. Designed in five fresh hues and finished with a refined, flat-edge border, they’re as handsome as they are functional.

Each towel is made with long-staple Pima cotton and loomed in the oldest, family-run mill in Imabari that has spent 100 years perfecting the art of towel making. From weaving to dyeing and washing, each step is done in a fair trade environment.

Note: Each set includes two towels – two face towels / washcloths, two hand towels, or two bath towels.

  • Face Towel / Washcloth - 14"L x 14"W
    Hand Towel - 33"L x 14"W
    Bath Towel - 57"L x 31"W

  • 100% Pima cotton (from the US) - 490 GSM

  • Japan

  • We offer free 30-day returns for bedding & towels. Please return items unwashed & in original packaging.

Fair Trade. Guaranteed. 100% of our products are made with a process guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization.

These cotton towels can be machine washed on cold with like colors. Tumble dry on low. Do not bleach.

After washing, the waffle weave will deepen and shrink a bit, developing a more organic character over time. We recommend hanging on a rack instead of hooks – the hooks will stretch out the weave over time.

Great quality and design

These towels are luxurious, oversized, and efficient. They dry fast, stay clean for a long time, and look amazing.

Good but . . .

These are high-quality towels but they are considerably bulkier and stiffer than I expected, based on our other Imabari bath towels, which are from Kontex.

A bit rough for the price

We got some of the Mara towels to compare and while we loved the softness and size of the Mara towels ultimately thought that the Imbari would be more absorbant and soften as they were washed. But I can confirm after multiple washes that they have not softened one bit and are almost too rough to use.

Best towels I've owned!

Feels comfy while also being absorbent and durable. I've been trying different waffle towels since they dry more quickly and the quality of these are clearly much higher than those from Onsen and Quince. After several uses and washes, it seems that these will last me a long time and be worth the price.
